Best Answer: Some people always come up with some nonsense to discourage someone from losing weight. Ignore the metabolic syndrome warning; it is BS. People can successfully lose weight by restricting calories.

It is the severity of the calorie deficit that matters. If you are eating in a 20% caloric deficit with plenty of protein, you will lose weight slowly and consistently in a healthy way. If you are eating in a 30% + caloric deficit you will most likely damage your metabolism and end up binge eating and gaining weight back.

I think you are confused. Restricting calories to create a calorie deficit IS the way most people lose weight. That is very different from eating so little that the body goes into starvation mode and the metabolism slows. Most people with actual knowledge will say a diet above 1,000 calories a day is safe.

There are definitely other ways. The thing they say that is because once you start reducing your diet than your body will adapt itself to that diet in some time. After some time you will have to reduce the calories even more to lose weight. This kind of becomes a cycle and goes on.

Why do people say that calorie restrictive diets only lead to some metabolic syndrome, when that is the only possible way can lose weight?
